"No one should make them feel embarrassed about feeding their child in the most natural way," she says.

The photo, she adds, is even more important to her after people doubted whether she could maintain breastfeeding, having had her baby at a young age.

"...at the age of 22 so many people doubted me and said I would give up on breastfeeding and here I am four months later and still going strong. So I just want to share with women that no matter who doubts you or who turns their noses up to breastfeeding that it can be done."

The photo was posted on an Instagram account called @BWDBF ('Black Women Do Breastfeed'). It has already been liked more than 1300 times.
